This program has been made possible by the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer

Ministries. So maybe I'll just say to you tonight

some of you have been long enough at the same place.

You've been around it around the same mountain long enough it's time to move on.

Well in the world happiness is based on what's happening but in the

kingdom it's not that way. He says you're happy if you suffer for righteousness

like Jesus said we'd be happy if we served other people.

Now in fact he said forget yourself. Wow.

Loose side of yourself and all your own interests serve others.

But the world would say we can only be happy if everybody's serving us.

Oh your flesh don't like it when you serve other people but you're spirit

knows and if you're happy enough inside it'll get to the outside.

And then John 13 is the chapter in the Bible where Jesus washed his

disciples feet. Jesus it says knowing where he came from and knowing where he was going.

And I really I think it really means this knowing who he was.

It's so wonderful when you don't have to prove anything.

It's so wonderful when you no longer have to try to impress anybody.

When you know who you are and who you are and where you came from and where you're going.

Then you don't have to worry if somebody doesn't like you or they don't want you to come to their party or whatever it is.

He took off his garment which kind of means he took off who he was for those moments in time.

And he put on a servant's towel and he knelt down and he washed his disciples feet.

And when he came to Peter Peter said no Lord you must never wash my feet and I love what Jesus said.
